Background to Shiatsu
Your Shiatsu practitioner will consider your state of health. In on your constitution and general energy levels, we will use a variety of techniques to improve your energy flow. These may include gentle holding, pressing with palms, thumbs and fingers on the meridians and, when appropriate, rotations and stretches.
As the quality of Ki changes, the symptoms associated with the lack of flow will gradually improve. Shiatsu is a therapy that works on the individual as a complete being - not just the physical body but also on an emotional and/or mental level.
What to expect in a session
During your first session your practitioner will take a detailed case history to develop a complete picture of your health according to the principles of oriental medicine. The session usually takes place fully clothed on a padded mat or futon at floor level, although it is possible to receive Shiatsu sitting on a chair.
